"Coach Jones, Coach Jones..... It's Cleveland calling.... Coach???? Why is he running away???"

Being a qb coach really helped the transition. He loves helping kids get to the next level at high school. A lot of his guys have got scholarships. The hamstring injury was serious. He didn't have surgery because the team doctor at SFU misdiagnosed the injury. If he had surgery, he might have recovered to play again at 100%. Maybe he would have redshirted. It happened in January 2015 going into his senior year so he'd have had 9 months to recover. He'd have missed spring camp only. It was a hard thing for him to go through. Not being able to run at full speed.

Yep, even more so for those 4* plus kids. those guys have grown up hearing they are going to be nfl stars since they are 12-14. If that doesn’t wake them up and get them playing like their career depends on it nothing will. Some super talented kids fall into a trap of doing all the small things coaches ask, at the expense of doing the things that will get them to the next level. Very nearly 100% of playing careers and in heart ache. No matter the level. And a huge portion of those have injuries driving them.

Booo that would have been the guy I'd want to throw money at.

he couldn’t put up worse numbers than last year. just doing better won’t remotely mean he earns that money. If he produces at a rate equal to the last two years in one this year, he will be a solid value. idk I can’t see teams paying wj on hopes he regains his level of play from 3 years ago. he’d look real good in blue n gold

absolutely. it is. but you bring in 15-20 guys like this each camp and the ones who don’t cut it are first gone and gone in rookie camp. Football is so intensely dependant on raw athleticism and talent, if you can add or develop one strong intangible like football iq, motor, etc you have a quick riser. I mean this is why college teams are always all over track/basketball practices. very true. and the reality of falling out of the nfl window is a big learning opportunity. those guys always believe that their talent/athleticism will carry to a shot and they will win a spot. even though the reality is very different. Realizing that and facing the end of a career they thought would carry them can bring out a different animal.

Paging Dr. Kevin Cheveldayoff we have a situation in the OR room stat.

Hellebuyck is the least of our concerns. Our defending is porous and we can’t score with any level of consistency. We also had some crap bounces last night, but the Wings were just flat out better.

Methinks you missed the point and took that comment way more negatively than intended

Other than the fact that high glove = guaranteed goal. He hasn't been the same this season. I wouldn't be surprised if he was on the bench for the Olympics.

What an odd thing to say on a discussion forum designed specifically for the expression of thoughts and feelings

wonder what it’d take. 250k last year. 4 1k seasons in a row. Been very steady, excellent yac guy, would be great in a sweep package

I'll take White.

We need 2 starting wrs. I would’ve loved if one of them was Hardy. Even at that 200k range. Hardy isn’t a long term answer, but right now we are desperate for 2 strong short term answers

At a guy turning 35 this year ? Good player but wouldn’t be my first target. Seems like he signed at a reasonable deal to stay in Ottawa.

We've got like no receivers signed.... we should have a boatload of money to sign guys at that position

I hope we do. We have massive needs at DL and WR. We cant fill them like we tried to last year either.

it’s pretty common in the cfl now to bring guys like this into camp. underachieving 4star or higher guys. If they adjust in camp to the canadian game it’s a very good chance you have a high end contributor. if they don’t they are easy cuts. The raw talent and athleticism helps raise the bar in drills for camp as well

What career, Mike? He has no "career". He's can't get past the first interview. That's like saying he wants to be a lawyer but can't pass the bar exam. As far as relevance goes, then why doesn't Rich shut this place down? None of us including you have any relevance.
